Hexagon flower blocks will help you to create wonderful quilt consisting of hexagon blocks (Urban meadow quilt) or you can use a single block to piece a pillow or use it to embelish some other crafty things (such as bags). The patterns are intermediate level, however paper-piecing beginners could also give it a try!

Please make sure you print the templates at 100% scale. If you want to make hexagon shaped block, do not print first, second and seventh page. The templates in pdf are mirrored and they contain 1/4" seam allowances. Before piecing the block, please check if the size of the templates is correct (piece B should have a height of 8").

Piecing instruction

Block consists of 6 pieces (A-F). Each piece should be firstly paper-pieced separately and then joined together.

The pieces are not the same and this means that the order of piecing parts together is very important.

When all pieces are ready to join, put the pieces with papers on the top and use piecing scheme as a guide (join C to B, CB to A, F to E, FE to D, CBA and FED together).

If you put ready pieces with fabric on the top, the piecing order will be different (A to B, AB to C, D to E, DE to F, ABC and DEF together).

There are no single pieces (without any stitches). Single pieces (G, H I and J) are used only if you need a rectangular block (14"x16").

Please make sure you print the templates at 100% scale. The EPP templates do not contain seam allowances. Before piecing the block, please check if the size of the templates is correct (8" is a total height of B1 height and B6 height).

Piecing instruction

Hexagon flower block consists of 36 pieces grouped in 6 sections (sections A-F). Each piece should be firstly basted and then pieces from each sections should be joined together. The numbers with letters indicate the piecing order, for example A2 piece should be added to A1 piece and then piece A3 should be added to piece A1A2.

After piecing each section, section A, B and C should be joined together and section D, E and F should be joined together. After that piece ABC should be joined with piece DEF.

If you would like to make rectangular block, at the end of piecing you should add sections G, H, I and J.Important! In EPP pattern templates are not mirrored - this means that finished block scheme is the piecing scheme.
